He just beat Ryan Bourland recently who looks like not willing to fight and Jake is up again for another.
They should call this a fight but an exhibition but believe it or not is happening. You think Mike is done after Roy Jones but Jake wants to pull him again for he just needs recognition from the boxing community.  

I would be surprised if Mike beats Jake. He is 60.  Would you bet if its on Stake?

Jake Paul is set to fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a boxing match that will be livestreamed on Netflix.

The bout is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and will be available to all Netflix subscribers. Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced at a later date. It is being produced in a partnership between Netflix and Paul’s and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

This will not be the first time Paul and Tyson have appeared on a boxing card together. Paul fought in the co-main event of the pay-per-view that saw Tyson fight an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which was Tyson’s first boxing match since 2006. Paul defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson via knockout in the second round in what was Paul’s second professional boxing match.

What in the flying fuck man. Why is it that Jake gets off from fighting boxers who are either already decades past their prime and retired, or clowns who can't show for themselves more than they could throw a solid punch. This is pretty much like that one spongebob meme where they keep busting that old man cause they thought he's the criminal. Don't get it twisted, Tyson is still pretty much a fucking animal, but he's literally in his 60s now, he's not gonna be able to put in the show that we're looking to see from a fighter of his caliber, and to top it all off he's fighting the clown of the boxing industry, there's literally no way we're going to see a good fight out of this in my opinion.

I mean props to whoever Tyson talked to for actually persuading the guy to get into fighting once again, but c'mon man, let the man rest, he's already done his time in the ring, have some respect to the GOAT at the very least.
